Malad Gorge

After the open house we stopped at Malad Gorge. I had not been here since I was little and it amazed me at how spectacular the view was. It is hard to see here, but it is so high up it almost made me dizzy bieng out on the bridge and I love heights! The kids thought it was really neat and it was a fun way to end a big trip.

Twin Falls Temple Open House

Saturday on the way back home from our visit to IF we met the fam in Twin Falls for the temple open house. It was so neat to take the kids through and have them feel the spirit of the temple, and see the beauty of it. They were very sweet and each of them liked the celestial room the best. They also liked the sealing room with the "eternal mirrors". It was neat for us to be able to show them what we do when we go to the temple and have them understand a little more about them. Kira was especially sweet with Grandpa Witters. She was glued to his side and it looked like they had a great time together.

Visit to IF

We had a great trip to IF. The first day we spent at the splash park. It was really fun but the water was actually very cold! That night we went and saw Kung Fu Panda. It was really funny and if you ask Addi what the panda says she will say "hi yah"! ( I am not sure how to spell that!) The next day we went to Rigby Lake and played all day. That was great fun and suprisingly dirty! But that is what you get with kids and sand. We went to the Riot Zone on our last day which would have been funner if half the park had not just burned down. :) The kids didn't care though. We also fed the ducks and went out to the Witters petting zoo. It was a great visit and I am so glad I got to see everyone!

Alaska Cousins

We had a great 4th! We went to mom's for a BBQ and all the kids had a great time running through the sprinklers, playing baseball, and games. Kira and Sarah hit it off really well and Kristina was so sweet to play baseball with Reese. We had a big sleepover at my house and did a few fireworks. On Saturday us gals made cards and the kids ran wild! It was great fun. Thanks so much to Jen for letting us borrow her girls for a bit. We had so much fun getting to know them better. They are incredibly sweet and we had a great time. When it was time for Sarah to go, Kira even cried! We hope to see them again soon.

Camping with the Hood

We had a great time camping up at Sagehen with our friends. We fished and swam and of course ate lots of smores. The kids had a great time together and really got along well. We even survived all the bears! It is wonderful to have such great friends! Thanks guys!
